Fez hitting the Xbox 360 on April 13

In a surprise announcement on the Polytron website earlier today, it seems that Fez, the much-anticipated 2.5D indie platformer, will be hitting its first platform, Xbox Live Arcade, on lucky Friday the 13th of April.

Fez will retail for 800 Magic Microsoft Bucks, and will release in all regions simultaneously.

No word on release on any other platforms right now, the last we heard from Polytron on the matter was simply that “all options are being considered.” Given Microsoft’s propensity for requiring at least some period of exclusivity, I’m guessing we won’t hear anything about it for a while. A PC brother can hope, though, right?
